- spine member 12 is in registration with spine member 11 such that the primary 12 A and secondary 11 A surfaces face each other.
- a connecting structure comprising hinges 13 and 14 interconnects spine members 11 , 12 and permits the spine members to move from the first operative stowed position of FIG. 1 to a second operative deployed position ( FIG. 6 ) with the upper spine member 12 above the lower spine member 11 such that the first 16 and second 15 contact surfaces touch, such that the upper 12 and lower 11 spine members lie in a common vertical plane, and such that such that the upper spine member 12 is positioned above the lower spine member 11 .
- the wings of hinge 13 are each inset in orthogonal detents 13 A and 13 B formed in spine members 11 and 12 , respectively.
- the wings of hinge 14 are each inset in orthogonal detents 14 A and 14 B formed in spine members 11 and 12 , respectively.
- Hinges 13 and 14 are mounted on construct 10 such that members 11 and 12 will completely fold into the configuration shown in FIG. 1 , while also being able to unfold to the configuration illustrated in FIG. 6 .
- a sliding dovetail joint is utilized in place of hinges 13 and 14 .
- An elongate pin is cut to extend from the second contact surface 15 .
- An elongate tail is cut into the first contact surface 16 . The pin removably laterally slides into the tail to secure detachable member 11 to member 12 in the orientation illustrated in FIG. 6 .
- Foot 30 includes upper surface 31 , lower surface 31 A, and bottom 32 .
- Bottom 32 extends between the outwardly extending second pair of spaced apart arms 18 A and 18 B ( FIG. 2 ).
- Elongate pin 20 ( FIG. 2 ) extends from arm 18 B through bottom 32 and through arm 18 A.
- Axis X is coincident with the longitudinal centerline of pin 20 .
- Pin 20 pivotally connects bottom 32 and arms 18 A, 18 B such that foot 30 can pivot about pin 20 and axis X in the manner indicated by arrow B in FIG. 2 .
- Pivoting foot 30 about pin 20 from the primary operative position of FIG. 2 in the direction of arrow B through an angle of two hundred and seventy degrees puts foot 30 in the secondary operative position illustrated in FIG. 6 . In the primary operative position, foot 30 is seated in the primary inset.
- foot 30 is seated in a primary operative position in the front of lower spine member 11 with the lower surface 31 A adjacent the secondary inset surface 11 A.
- foot 30 is in the secondary operative position illustrated in FIG. 6 , a portion of the upper surface 31 of foot 30 contacts the second inset contact surface 18 ; and, surface 18 functions as a stop and prevents foot 30 from rotating any further in the direction of arrow B.
- the angle through which foot 30 rotates to move from its primary operative position to its secondary operative position can vary as desired, but typically is greater than two hundred degrees and is less than three hundred degrees. As can be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6 , in its secondary operative position, foot 30 extends outwardly away from the second back 17 of lower spine member 11 .
- Arm 40 includes upper surface 41 , lower surface 41 A, and bottom 42 .
- Bottom 42 extends between the outwardly extending first pair of spaced apart arms 43 A and 43 B ( FIG. 2 ).
- Elongate pin 22 ( FIG. 2 ) extends from arm 43 B through bottom 42 and through arm 43 A.
- An axis similar to axis X is coincident with the longitudinal centerline of pin 22 .
- Pin 22 pivotally connects bottom 42 and arms 43 A, 43 B such that arm 40 can pivot about pin 22 and the longitudinal axis of pin 22 in the manner indicated by arrow C in FIG. 2 . Pivoting are 40 about pin 22 from the principal operative position of FIG. 2 in the direction of arrow C through an angle of two hundred and seventy degrees puts arm 40 in the supplementary operative position illustrated in FIG. 6 .
- arm 40 is seated in a principal operative position in the front of upper spine member 12 with the lower surface 41 A ( FIG. 6 ) adjacent the primary inset surface 12 A ( FIG. 2 ).
- arm 40 is in the supplementary operative position illustrated in FIG. 6 , a portion of the upper surface 41 of arm 40 contacts the first rectangular inset contact surface 43 ( FIG. 3 ); and, surface 43 functions as a stop and prevents arm 40 from rotating any further in the direction of arrow C.
- arm 40 is seated in the secondary inset.
- the angle through which arm 40 rotates to move from its principal operative position to its supplementary operative position can vary as desired, but typically is greater than two hundred degrees and is less than three hundred degrees. As can be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6 , in its supplementary operative position, arm 40 extends outwardly away from the first back 19 of upper spine member 12 , and is parallel to and spaced apart from foot 30 .
- construct 10 is transported in the folded, stowed configuration of FIG. 1 to a desired location. Prior to being transported, construct is, if desired, stored for a selected period of time in the compact, folded configuration of FIG. 1 .
- construct 10 is manually unfolded by first pivoting upper spine member 12 and/or lower spine member 11 about hinges 13 and 14 to the configuration illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 6 wherein first contact surface 16 is adjacent, parallel to, and contacting second contact surface 15 .
- Foot 30 is pivoted in the direction of arrow B from its primary operative position illustrated in FIG. 2 to its secondary operative position illustrated in FIG. 6 .
- Arm 40 is pivoted from its principal operative position illustrated in FIG. 2 to its supplementary operative position illustrated in FIG. 6 .
- Construct 10 is set on a counter top or other horizontally oriented surface in the manner depicted in FIG.
- the shape and dimension of construct 10 can vary as desired.
- the presently preferred length, indicated by arrows L in FIG. 1 , of folded construct 10 is five and one-quarter inches.
- the presently preferred width, indicated by arrows W in FIG. 3 of folded construct 10 is four and five-eighths inch.
- the presently preferred height, indicated by arrows H in FIG. 3 of folded construct 10 is one and five-eighths inch.
- One important feature discovered during the development of the invention is producing a coffee maker construct 10 that is free standing (1) when construct 10 is standing alone in the configuration illustrated in FIG. 6 , and, (2) after a coffee filter 50 has been placed in aperture 43 A, coffee grounds are placed in filter 50 , and, water is poured on the coffee grounds. It was determined that in order for construct 10 to be free standing during such use, and for construct 10 not to tip over in the direction of arrow Z in FIG. 6 , the center of gravity of construct 10 must—when filter 50 , coffee grounds, and water poured into filter 50 are supported by arms 40 —be intermediate arm 40 and foot 30 , and, foot 30 must extend outwardly away from bottom spine member 11 a distance sufficient to prevent the torque T ( FIG. 6 ) generated by the weight of arm 40 , filter 50 , coffee ground and water from tipping over construct 10 in the direction of arrow Z.
- a further important feature discovered during the development of the invention is the rotation of arm 40 and foot 30 through an angle of approximately two hundred and seventy degrees when the arm 40 and foot 30 are deployed. Still another important feature that is operative in conjunction with the rotation of arm 40 and foot 30 is the pivotal attachment of the bottom 32 , 42 of foot 30 and arm 40 , respectively, intermediate a pair 18 A- 18 B, 43 A- 43 B, respectively, of spaced apart arms such that arm 40 and foot 30 , when pivoted from the stowed positions illustrated in FIG. 2 to the deployed positions illustrated in FIG. 6 , each bear against a contact surface 18 , 43 , respectively, which—in conjunction with a pin 20 , 22 , respectively—secures the foot 30 and arm 40 in the respective position illustrated in FIG. 6 and which acts as a stop to prevent further pivoting of foot 30 or arm 40 in the direction of arrow B or C, respectively.
- contact surfaces 15 and 16 such that when the construct 10 is deployed in the manner illustrated in FIG. 6 , surfaces 15 , 16 contact each other and align and support the upper spine member 12 and lower spine member 11 in the substantially upright configuration illustrated in FIG. 6 .
- Surfaces 15 and 16 are shaped and dimensioned to prevent member 12 from tilting away from the vertical.
- the bottoms 32 , 42 of foot 30 and arm 40 and their respective operatively associated contact surfaces 18 and 43 are shaped and dimensioned to maintain spine members 11 and 12 in an upright vertical configuration and to maintain generally arm 40 in parallel with foot 30 .
- FIGS. 1 to 6 the alignments of members 11 and 12 , of arm 40 , and of foot 30 illustrated in the stowed configuration of FIG. 1 and the deployed configuration of FIG. 6 are presently preferred.
- members 11 and 12 , arm 40 and foot 30 are stacked to extend along a centerline C L in parallel relationship to one another.
- members 11 and 12 extend along a centerline C L and lie in a common vertical plane, and, foot 30 and arm 40 are parallel to one another and normal to members 11 and 12 .
- FIG. 5 is a view of the construct 10 of FIG. 4 from the perspective of eye 45 after the rotation of foot 30 in the direction of arrow B and of arm 40 in the direction of arrow C each through two hundred and seventy degrees from their stowed positions ( FIG. 2 ) to their deployed positions ( FIG. 6 ) has been completed.
- Detents 61 , 62 can be formed in spine members 11 and 12 to provide openings which provide more purchase for a user's finger(s) when the user manually pivots foot 30 and arm 40 out of the stowed positions illustrated in FIG. 2 .
